Unwise, in her opinion, given how curious claws could be. Take her, for instance. If a notebook like that existed, she'd want to get her hands on it merely to know what was going on in his mind. She'd be paying more attention from now on just to see.

The sneeze, as quiet as it was, caused Zeus to rise from his current place beside his master and stretch out as much as he could, awaking his muscles. The sight earned a smile from Maddie and she wiggled a piece of the colorful paper she was holding in front of Z's face, amused when he rolled onto his back right between herself and Daxton to swat at it.

Given the looks he'd been giving her kneazle up til now, the seventh year was curious to see how Prince would react when Z was so close.

Now that the Cooper girl had mentioned the book, Daxton was having a hard time keeping his thoughts from straying to it. He wanted to read every book, every single book in existence. It was physically impossible, of course, unless he could permanently slow down the aging process - not that he had not thought about that possibility before - but it was also a goal with which, even by failing, he was still gaining something by making an attempt.

Knowledge.

And knowledge was power. Everyone knew that, surely. Even knowledge about the smallest, seemingly most insignificant things, like paper folding, could become a powerful tool. Nobody could say otherwise, not with any real certainty. Not unless they were stupid. Daxton frequently read books about subjects that he was not necessarily interested in, or consider to be important - obviously he did, considering his goal to read every book - because knowledge was power.

Not-quite-lost in his thoughts, the movement from the Kneazle was enough to bring Daxton completely back to the present moment. He eyed it, leaning backwards - subconsciously only at first - and pulled the neck of his school shirt up to cover his face and nose, protecting himself from allergens as best he could. Nothing could be done about his eyes, which had been stinging right from the off in any case.

He supposed that what the Kneazle was doing was what most people would call cute; maybe that was the reason the Cooper girl was smiling. But Daxton did not see anything cute. He saw an overrated, hairball of a creature, that would likely ravage his hands, feet, or face should he get too close. Pets were stupid, anyway. They were designed to make people weak and vulnerable, not unlike friends, and Daxton was not about to willingly fall into that trap. He shuffled backwards, turning away from the bizarre excuse for a cat so that it and the Cooper girl were now on his left-hand side, and made a point of obviously and intently inspecting the folded paper creature in his hands, mouth and nose still covered by his shirt.
